“The Birth” Belly Painting

Posted on | January 29, 2010 |

Body painting continues to be a fascinating expression for me and I was honored this week to be able to paint a piece that represents the creative force, itself.

What a blessing ~ !

I painted this work entitled, “The Birth” January 26th, 2010 … Baby boy was actually in the position I painted on the belly. He was a great model, not too much kicking, I think he saves that for when mom is trying to go to sleep!
